During the last decade, people have started to experiment with insertable technology like
RFID or NFC chips and use them for eg identification. However, little is known about how
people in fact interact with and adapt insertables. We conducted a video analysis of 122
YouTube videos to gain insight into the interaction with the insertables. Second, we
implemented an online survey to complement our data from the video analysis. Our findings

During the last decade, people have started to experiment with insertable technology like RFID or NFC chips and use them for e.g. identification. However, little is known about how people in fact interact with and adapt insertables. We conducted a video analysis of 122 YouTube videos to gain insight into the interaction with the insertables. Second, we implemented an online survey to complement our data from the video analysis. Our findings show that there are many opportunities for interaction with insertables both for task-oriented and creative purposes. However, there are also multiple challenges and obstacles as well as side effects and health concerns. Our findings conclude that the current infrastructure is not ready to support the use of insertables yet, and we discuss implications of this.
